Interest Link Borders matches people with learning disabilities living in the Scottish Borders with volunteers so they can meet up regularly to do activities both enjoy.  We provide the service through four Branches: Berwickshire, Buddies Central Borders, Roxburgh and Tweeddale.   The Branches are co-ordinated by a Project Office

The site is designed to be accessible and the Service Users section uses mainly pictures and sounds. Service User and Volunteer application forms can be found on the Publications page
